Easements or right of way is an owner’s or occupier’s right over other land, not his own, which allows them to enjoy their own property(( Section 4 of the Indian Easements Act 1882)). It includes the right to pass over the land of another person uninterruptedly to enjoy one’s own land. If there is obstruction of this right, you can sue for an injunction to stop the obstruction or for damages.
